Adaptation Mechanisms of Pinus sylvestris L. in Industrial Areas

  • Chapter
Heavy Metal Contamination of Soils

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 44))

Abstract

In spite of a positive direction of changes occurring in the contaminated environment, the local industry still appears to exert a negative influence on plant vegetation. Forests which grow in many highly industrialized zones enable research on the influence of anthropopression on the natural population and are one of the best models for the study of plant adaptation to heavy metals in soil. In some cases, it is possible to follow processes of re-naturalization occurring on post-industrial areas in situ. Research undertaken in heavily polluted regions pointed to an interesting phenomenon of differentiation among the Scots pine populations with respect to the health status. Adaptive genetic diversity reflects differences in the survival capabilities of individuals exposed to stress and shows the selective pressure against trees with specific genotypes. This chapter emphasizes on the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) as one of the most frequently used bioindicators in the European forests and their application in the study of microevolutionary processes in tree populations. It may enhance a better understanding of how the soil pollution can change the genetic structure of important forest species.
